What Are AI Variables?
AI variables are dynamic fields in your email copy that Prospi fills in automatically for each prospect. While simple variables pull a single data point (like a first name or company name), AI variables can generate entire sentences or phrases tailored to each prospect.
Writing Full Sentences as AI Variables
When you use Custom AI Research, you are not limited to single words. You can prompt the AI to generate a complete sentence - including context pulled from the prospect's website.
Example:
Instead of writing:
"I noticed your company works in {{industry}}."
You can write:
"{{case_study_sentence}}"
And set the AI Research prompt to:
"Write one sentence referencing a case study, client success story, or notable project from their website. If none is found, write a generic sentence about their work. Keep it natural and conversational."
Result in the email:
"I came across your work with [Client Name] and was impressed by the results you delivered."
Using AI Variables in Other Languages
AI variables respect the language of your prompt. If you want the generated sentence to appear in French, Spanish, or any other language, simply write your AI Research prompt in that language - or add an instruction like: "Write the sentence in Spanish."
Example (Spanish):
Prompt:
"Escribe una frase mencionando un proyecto o caso de exito de su sitio web. Si no encuentras nada, escribe una frase generica sobre su trabajo. Escribelo en espanol."
Result:
"Vi que trabajaron con [Cliente] y me parecio muy interesante su enfoque."
How to Set This Up
Open your campaign in Prospi
In your email copy, place your cursor where you want the AI sentence to appear
Click Add Variable and select Custom AI Research Variable
Write your prompt - be specific about:
What information to look for (case study, industry, recent news, etc.)
The tone (conversational, formal, etc.)
The language (if not English)
A fallback in case no relevant info is found
Preview the variable to see how it looks before launching
Tips
Always include a fallback instruction so the email still makes sense if the AI cannot find relevant info
Keep AI-generated sentences to 1-2 sentences max - longer inserts can feel unnatural
Test with a few prospects before launching a full campaign
